Drug Treatment Help Request

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program that is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions as to just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of preference.
